2-time WWE champion reacts after fan points out his 5374-day title reign; the poster praises Braun Strowman as wellÂ
Braun Strowman and a two-time WWE champion have received huge praise from fans for their apparent record-breaking title reigns. WWE has a lot of stars who have achieved tremendous success over their careers, but these two stars apparently have enormous achievements of their own.
While the likes of Roman Reigns, Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund, and others have competed in WWE and had massive title reigns, Bruno Sammartino holds the record for the longest reign with a title - 2803 days. After this comes Bob Backlund with 2135 days as the champion. However, according to a fan, this is not really the case, and Ezekiel Jackson holds the record. Jackson was the last-ever ECW title holder after which the belt was made defunct.
One fan considered Jackson's title reign to have never ended since then and that he is still the champion, saying that his reign was at 5374 days. The fan also tried to say that Braun Strowman had also done a great deal by being one of the longest reigning title holders, saying he had a 2382-day-long reign as the Greatest Royal Rumble Champion.
Ezekiel Jackson, who won the Intercontinental Title and the ECW Title while in WWE, saw the post and reacted to it, saying that he appreciated the optimism the fan had, and then called himself the Final ECW Champion.
"Appreciate your optimism!!!! #finalECWChamp," Jackson said.

Ex-WWE star Ezekiel Jackson has spoken about a return to the ring
Ezekiel Jackson has been retired for almost nine years after stepping away from the ring in 2015.
Since then, he has talked about returning to the squared circle recently though. The star responded to a fan who asked him to prove whether he could still move in the ring and he replied "soon." Jackson was then seen taking bumps and running in the ring in a video he posted on Twitter.
Check out the video below:
Fans will have to wait to see if the star returns and if so, whether he comes back to the company.
So far, Braun Strowman has yet to comment on what the fan pointed out. Although these reigns are not recognized by the company, it would be interesting to see if any star makes that their character.
